started career sept 39 5 patrols later in my IIa and havent spotted a single aircraft on the east side of the uk when do they start popping up or is there a glitch.

playing shIII 1.4b, gwx2.0, uboat 1.2, sh3commander 1.2, gui 2.1

If you run time compression higher than 256X you greatly decrease the chance of running across aircraft. But, trust me, if you run at 256X or slower, they ARE out there!

i usually go slow when im in an air covered region (check map on top left corner of map screen if you run gwx) and speed it up a little when im out of the air coverage umbrella.

I'm 5th day on North Sea and I have the same problem, no aircrafts in this region (sep/39). Don't tell me about time compression, because i play in realtime. Where is the problem? Or maybe in 1939 the aircrafts was a little danger and not very often spotted?

Air cover was not very tight and effective in the early years. Enjoy the peacefull sailing as long as you can

The day will come when you remember the "Happy times". Not a single day without the postman from above.

I´m on 2nd patrol in Nov. 39 and i love the quiet ocean cruise. Convoys with only one escort...

Excuse me Kaleun, but... who in the grace of the lord with half his mind working would call this a "problem"?

I play Stock SHIII, I'm in August 1940 and I'm yet to encounter a flying tommie!
Though I know you won't care a bit about a Stock SHIII example... sorry

Yep, they are out there, i got some serious damage on my first gwx2 patrol (sept39) courtesy of a costal command plane that came out of nowhere.

As someone has already said, keep it below 256x and you`ll encounter far more planes (i tend not to go higher than 128x).

After 1942 you`ll be going up and down like a damn yoyo to avoid allied air patrols, especially in areas like the bay of biscay.

Yep, aircraft are there. I run at no more than 128TC and started my career in Sept 39. Currently on my second patrol in November 1939 spotted an Anson just north of Scotland but luckily I dived and he didn't spot me, other than that no further Allied aircraft spotted, so far!
